ManjuJijo

AnkurMehta_b89oHyZ0Tj I agree with u and when Lock glimpse was added to nothing os 4.0 beta there was a screen for enabling accepting bouyan(I think that is how it is spelled )policy when I tried to open just of curiosity it showed me what lock glimpse (stable update)is but no terms and conditions and did any NP3 user get this (just a guess: did they integrate the policy of bouyan ito the system policies,(cuz I have not read privacy policy)) can anybody tell me

kohese updated from beta, nothing is lost

ArnoldMelvinXavier

kohese updating from beta doesn’t result in data loss. It usually happens when you revert back from beta to previous stable.

Extra dark mode now extended to quick settings panel and notification shade looks awesome

pranav

For long screenshot just click double arrow type button after taking a normal screenshot

Dunno maybe they are trying add a differentiation between “a” series phones and their number series phones
